Drawing on his background in biology, Jonas Saling explores the boundaries between the natural and the man-made, allowing the two realms to merge.
His works are reminiscent of biological structures, fossil remains, and high-tech objects from science fiction. The result is hybrid forms created through 3D printing and ceramics that defy a single interpretation and oscillate between the organic and the artificial, as well as the familiar and the unfamiliar.
Processes of transformation lie at the heart of his work. The sculptural and installation-based forms explore the unstable states of the organic, in which materiality and form are in a state of constant flux. These states of limbo create a sense of disorientation and uncertainty, inviting viewers to question the processes of creation, material transformations, and their own perceptions.
